E2B caught up with Paddy Thompson, General Manager of Business Development, Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd (CFCL) at a roundtable last week, to hear about the latest developments in the micro-CHP market and his company’s new strategy of offering SMEs, schools and GP surgeries the option of benefiting from lower fuel costs with no up-front capital expenditure.

CFCL offers a small-scale fuel cell based electricity generator (BlueGEN), which allows efficient on-site production of electricity as well as some heat from natural gas. A typical customer will see carbon savings of 3-4 tonnes each year and a 20 per cent saving on fuel bills, with a potential for these savings to rise, given DECC projections that the cost of electricity will rise faster than the price of gas.
